Artisan Group’s Stone Collection Featured on DiY Network’s Run My Renovation
Posted by: | CommentsIf you’ve been checking out the DiY Network, you have probably come across Run My Renovation. In the show, homeowners give up all control over a renovation as every choice is made by online voters. While it sounds risky, the lucky homeowners in the episode “Rekindling the Kitchen Love,” struck it rich with surfaces from the Artisan Group. These high quality stone countertops are available at Construction Resources, and were chosen by a landslide of online votes for the most important part of the kitchen.
In fact, over sixty percent of the voters chose Artisan Group’s Golden Crystal stone counter surface for the episode’s kitchen renovation. The episode explores a complete renovation, with the homeowners involved in every way, from hands-on demolishing their own kitchen to applying the paint Read More→
There’s certainly a happy customer in Philadelphia, who is enjoying a Saratoga Soapstone counter surface in his “MLB mancave” courtesy of DIY network House Crashers. The show turned the home’s plain jane family room into a shrine to everything baseball. You can see a great overview of the show above, and it is still airing as part of the show’s fifth season. If you prefer not to watch on air, the episode will be available for purchase on iTunes soon.
The renovation started by destroying the family room. The crew demolished a brick wall to make room for the many improvements, which spanned into the outdoors. The man cave began with a wet bar of Artisan Group Mineral Black Saratoga Soapstone with eight taps, fueled by a refrigerated set of kegs situated in the basement. The basement is accessible from a specially crafted elevator dubbed the “kegavator,” to ferry kegs and people to keep the eight taps running for thirsty Phanatics. A custom made bar top of signed baseballs in resin forms the bar on the opposite side of the taps with Philadelphia Phillies bar stools. Couches form a secondary viewing area with jerseys and huge photo posters of Citizens Bank Park.
Outside in a redone patio area is the primary viewing area with a huge HDTV screen, authentic stadium seats, state-of-the-art grill, and landscaping Read More→
Don’t be Limited in Your Counter Surface Choice

Marble, Soapstone and Quartz are Great Choices for Counters or Tables!
Granite counter surfaces consistently top the most wanted lists for durability and composition, and rightly so. For those wanting something a little different in their kitchen or bath, there are expanded choices available for stone counter tops. Construction Resources is proud to offer a variety of different stones like marble, soapstone and quartz. We also provide new sealers, which add to the durability, looks, and functionality of these alternatives.
Marble is popularly thought of as white, but can come in many different colors and is usually heavily veined. There are a couple of good options for increasing durability for high-traffic areas. The first option is to have a good sealer, like Artisan Group’s Firstline Sealer applied to protect against scratches and stains. Another way to increase durability is to have the marble be honed to give it a matte or satin finish that does not show scratches or etchings as much as a high reflective surface. Marble such as Calacatta Gold and White Carrara are available at Construction Read More→
New Luna Marble Looks Like Wood
Posted by: | Comments
If you are looking for a truly one-of-a-kind kitchen, our new Luna marble might be just the countertop you are seeking. We have two gorgeous slabs of this material in stock and they won’t last long.
This beautiful stone is so appealing because it speaks to the most current color palette trend of pairing warm greys and whites. It resembles petrified wood and the natural linear vein running throughout it makes it a very unique surface.
Grey and white kitchens have been white hot in 2011 and the trend is expected to continue into 2012. Gray has become the new hot neutral because it pairs well with bright colors and is fine all by itself. Some designers are even saying that grey is the new white! That makes me wonder if we will see it walking down the aisle at the next wedding we attend?
Grey makes its debut in the kitchen as the color of cabinetry, backsplashes, countertops and flooring. Grey helps to tie all Read More→
Your Master Bath Should be a Place to Relax
Posted by: | Comments
When the rest of the house is a mess, or the kids are running around, where can you take refuge? If you had the luxury of a master spa, it could be more than a place to get ready in the morning – it can become a sanctuary from the rest of the world.
Southern Living recently released 60 Luxurious Master Bath design tips. The magazine used decorating and design ideas from the experts to transform a master bath into a relaxing retreat. Here are a few of our favorites:
Splurge in the Shower: The shower is such a small and defined space that you can afford a small splurge on a really extraordinary feature like sensational tile. Read More→
Subway Tiles for More than Public Transportation
Posted by: | Comments
The rectangular subway tile is making its way into more than crowded hubs of public transportation. Many designers are taking the cue and bringing this piece of urban life indoors. Instead of square-tiled backsplashes or showers, these unique subway tiles are showing up in all sorts of configurations and colors.
We recently installed subway tiles in this Atlanta bathroom, and what a statement they make accented with glass mosaic tiles. The subway tiles traditionally run horizontally, but inside the glass-tile pattern, they are changed up to run vertically. Vertical tiles also outline the shower. Read More→
What Does Your Conference Table Say About Your Business?
Posted by: | Comments
Think about all of the important moments that happen at your conference table. When you have a new client or vendor come in to your office, what impression does your conference table leave: power and importance, or neglect?
Construction Resources can provide you with a conference table that makes a statement. Do you need an elegant table, with clean lines and lasting design? You may want to consider marble, like the table in the photograph. This table was installed at KPMG’s SunTrust Plaza office and is made of Calcutta Borghini marble.
Do you want your conference table to make a louder statement? Consider a bold color of Cambria quartz, like the red used in the entry of Museum of Design Atlanta. Read More→

Posted by: | Comments
For the last 160 years or so, the Moss Home has stood resolute in historical Newnan, Ga. What this home has seen in its time far surpasses the things humans get to see in a normal lifespan.
